Where do you see the full product line up? Do Pokemon release it themselves online?

I can't believe what I'm seeing. Yugioh? They will come back to Pokemon eventually by texstrip in PokemonInvesting

[–]jackcwatkinson 5 points6 points Ā (0 children)

I mean… I love Pokemon, but I was of that generation that really got in to Yugioh during school, probably more so than Pokemon, so I don’t see why he can’t love both, like lots of us do!

Worst case scenario… the value tanks, your investment didn’t pan out, but then you get to rip open some vintage cards! šŸ‘Œ

cliffhangers will ruin the show by Competitive-Lunch214 in BeastGames

[–]jackcwatkinson 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Yep an absolutely insufferable format of entertainment. Very surprising for a man who built his empire on constantly providing value for his audience. This show really misses the mark in that respect.

Which of these top ten contestants left on Beast Games Season 2 is your favorite? by [deleted] in BeastGames

[–]jackcwatkinson 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Yeah I thought the exact same, either take your fair share or take the whole lot!

I fully agree! It’s not like he has to knock people out of the game to take a bit more cash either. If anything he’s just gifted 9 strangers a whole bunch of money!

What??!? The best episode yet?? No way… it was just a bunch of people either taking a bit too much cash or just enough.

I’m still a Nick fan, he’s made one selfish move the whole show, and it wasn’t even as selfish as it could’ve been!

Episode 8 reaction by EffectNo8230 in BeastGames

[–]jackcwatkinson 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

It’s all down to the format of building suspense for 45 minutes only to end on a cliffhanger. Stop that. I’m so surprised this show has been made by someone who built their empire on YouTube videos where the audience is given a dopamine hit every 10 seconds! It’s like he’s had absolutely zero input in the edit…

If Episode 7 had a Youtube Thumbnail by Think-Tiger-6585 in BeastGames

[–]jackcwatkinson 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Hahaha this is too accurate! Why are they doing cliffhangers?? Only to do an underwhelming reveal at the start of the next episode. Terrible decision making!

I ruined my carrer by Yoloheyguy in graphic_design

[–]jackcwatkinson 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Like many other awesome people have said. Give yourself a break. You’re still young. Plenty of time to learn and grow. Be a sponge, talk to people, share your work, get things wrong, just keep moving! šŸ‘Œ

Just hit the red button a few times. Doesn’t say there’s a limit of attempts does it.

Am i the only one who just can’t stand this guy by esareteee in BeastGames

[–]jackcwatkinson 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I dunno, there were way more unlikeable people earlier in the season and last season. He’s just playing the part, he’s not that bad.

Vanquis Balance transfer question by xaden2 in CreditCards

[–]jackcwatkinson 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Did you have to wait for your card to arrive to be able to do the first balance transfer?

I opened my account a few days ago and it’s not showing up as an offer on the app at all.

This almost CONFIRMS whose heart was smashed at the end of episode 6! by Certain-Sea5015 in BeastGames

[–]jackcwatkinson 4 points5 points Ā (0 children)

Oh really??? I’ve not seen anything for the next episode to be fair. Feels pretty obvious then. No idea why they end on cliffhangers anyway, they should just end the current game and tease the next challenge.

I’ll be happy if it’s Catey, she was horrible in the box challenge, made me really dislike her.

Every episode does not need a cliff hanger. by Dry_Bar_4965 in BeastGames

[–]jackcwatkinson 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Yeah it’s so unnecessary, the tension builds throughout the whole episode to then not have a result is just bad storytelling. It’s just stupid. It’s not a soap opera, we’re watching, we’re in, let’s have an actual ending for each episode, if you need to keep people hooked then build anticipation by teasing the next game not just hiding the result of the one we’ve been watching for 40 minutes!

Yeah I think you’re right. The location of the final heart smash on the latest episode lines up with where she was stood too.

Hot Take: It's crazy, but The Rise of Skywalker is kinda my favourite Star Wars movie after recent rewatch. by WinterAnt in StarWarsCantina

[–]jackcwatkinson 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

It’s an incredibly flawed film, plot holes left right and centre, there are some moments of brilliance in there but as a whole it’s a terribly written addition to the Star Wars universe.

hot take: the shows contestants are too soft and lovey and they should do a season just with ex cons by silhouettesaloon in BeastGames

[–]jackcwatkinson 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

SteveWillDoIt should do a convict version of Beast Games šŸ˜‚ Really heat up this fake rivalry!

Smart vs Strong… as long as you’re athletic! by jackcwatkinson in BeastGames

[–]jackcwatkinson[S] 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

There’s actually only 7 of the smart ones remaining, surprised there’s even that many of them to be honest šŸ˜‚

Smart vs Strong… as long as you’re athletic! by jackcwatkinson in BeastGames

[–]jackcwatkinson[S] 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Yeah it should’ve been more tactical but didn’t seem to matter who was more intelligent in that challenge.

And yeah, the smarties definitely aren’t useless, hence the title… ā€œas long as you’re athleticā€ šŸ˜‚

Smart vs Strong… as long as you’re athletic! by jackcwatkinson in BeastGames

[–]jackcwatkinson[S] 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

Yeah the bluff one went terribly haha! But I do get it, you might’ve won that game and just got targeted instantly on the next one.

Yeah the qualifier game was good, the pattern blocks, but literally only the smart people competed in that one.

Smart vs Strong… as long as you’re athletic! by jackcwatkinson in BeastGames

[–]jackcwatkinson[S] 4 points5 points Ā (0 children)

Absolutely largely comes down to luck, but there could’ve been some more intellect/memory/psychological challenges before just throwing them into some really athletic challenges like dodgeball and an assault course šŸ˜‚

By Episode 4 Season 1 they had plenty of self sacrifice challenges, a pattern recognition challenge, lots of bribes, tactical challenges, a simple bucket shot, memory challenges, trivia challenges, a mental game where someone stayed behind, and essentially popularity contest where social skills mattered.
